this sweet, little mimi bird hopped into my life a few years back. when my little girl started talking, she called everything "mimi." she chirped "mimi" all the time. and, from that time on, we called her our little mimi bird. during this time, i was at a local boutique and stumbled upon the most fitting little piece of art. on the picture was a very sweet, chunky, little bird and the title was "mimi bird." i of course had to have it...it seemed as if it was made for us and still hangs in our home today. my very own little mimi bird, grace, who is my older baby, is the one who made me fall in love with the camera. and, it is this little bird that will be a constant reminder of the inspiration that makes me so very happy when taking photographs.

is it really 2012?  my oh my has time gotten away from me!:)  the holidays were wonderful…they flew by in the blink of an eye.  and, then my sweet baby girl turned 6 right after Christmas.  i am still trying to convince myself that she was just born a year ago.  i am back to work, but just a bit behind on my blogging.  i am happy to be back in action and excited for the year that lies ahead of me!  with that said, i will let you take a peek at the the sweetest baby girl, miss ellie.  i have had the pleasure of watching her grow over the last year.  what a beauty she is.  she celebrated her first birthday in december and i think she seemed to enjoy it.  i hope you have many, many happy birthdays to come ellie. xoxo.

and, then i introduce to you the adorable latham…what a peach he is.  the biggest smile and the most beautiful heart warming brown eyes. his parents are just as lovely and i really loved spending the morning with them a couple of weeks ago.  like ellie, latham just celebrated his first birthday as well.  happy birthday to you, sweet latham.  and, thank you for the sweet hug when i left you.  mmmmmm…sweetness.

anna contacted me well over a year ago to inquire about a photography session for their baby that would be coming home from columbia.  i was thrilled they would consider me this far in advance for their sweet baby that was not yet born…i could hear the excitement in anna’s email words and as i read i wanted to jump through the computer screen and hug her with my excitement for her and brandon.  they patiently waited and waited and received word on july 1, 2011 that their sweet daniela was awaiting her mom and dad’s arms to be swept into…it was a joy to photograph this perfect little angel recently.  sweet daniela, i am so happy you are home safe and sound and in the loving arms of your mom and dad…what a beautiful family you are.

kisses from pup-a-rooooo sally!

    Next time don’t have the photographer take so many different shots. How are you going to decide which beautiful pictures you will have made into wall sized art?! Beautiful girl. Beautiful family.
